What is your favourite boys name?

[FoleyHuck]

May I ask you just to post your all time favourite boys name? We're very early days but DH & I have been throwing some name ideas around, there are quite a few we like for girls but for boys most of our favourites are ruled out for one reason or another.

We'd love some inspiration from real people rather than the internet lists that all seem to be the same!

Ps.. DH is Scandinavian so Scandi names are welcome. Our favourite girls name is a Scandinavian one.

Thanks

I am Scandinavian, and here are some boys names that I like

Malte
Nils
Arvid
Alfred
Viggo
Vidar

Thank you @SkaneTos

If I was scandi Henrick would be my name choice I love it

Monty.

Leo or Otis

I like Henrik / Henrick too @nobleisle. It's my friend's husband's name but they live on the other side of the world so 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess!

We've also put Fredrik and Matthias on the list tonight. NNs Fred / Matti as appropriate.

Boy - Stellan

I really like the Henrik spelling! I love Wulfric is that scandi?

Fredrik is lovely!

Finn, Lucas, Emil, Jenson, Bodie, Aksel/Axel

Ooh I really like Finn. I'd always thought it was Irish but Google tells me it's (also) Old Norse...

If had to pick one. Christopher (Kit)

I really like the name Mattias/Matthias too! And Matti is a great nickname.

Benjamin

Oscar
reuben
isaac
jacob
elijah
maximillian
barnaby
Frederick
rufus
billy
arthur
alfred
archie
samson

I really like Benjamin but it's the name of a close family member's boyfriend which might be a bit odd.

That's the kind of reason a few of my favourite boys names are ruled out. I love the name Evan, but my ex's surname was Evans...

Matthew.

I like

Thomas or Tomas (lots of it in Scandinavia (we lived there for a while)

Matthias

Jonas

Frederik

Claus
Nicolas
Hubert
Friso
Marek
Linden
Karl

Henning is a nice name, it's Danish.

@FoleyHuck We have a Danish connection and there are quite a few Finn's there! I'm following your thread as we are needing a name for our third boy 👀

Fave name is international classic William - but I think it's top 10 throughout Scandinavia so you probably don't want something that popular. Also love similar Alexander and Thomas - but again, very popular everywhere.

I also like Elias (especially with the Scandi pronunciation) Erik, Mads/Mats, Soren, Magnus, Lars, Anders and Leif if you want (slightly less popular) Scandi style .

Miles
Jesse "Jess"
Leo
James "Jamie"
Christopher "Kit"
Dean
Max
Adam
Peter
Elijah "Eli"
Santiago
Sebastian
Alexander "Xander" or maybe "Alec"
Riley
Kieran
Tristan

Hugo

Oh, and I quite like Wesley and Evan. Those are lovely, not overdone names.

Felix.
